question would be related to photography - whats the settings for the night shots?

Thanks, I don't do anything different for night photography. Considering you have the same camera as me, this tip could be more useful to you. For a given shot, use aperture priority, use ISO100 and pick the F-stop based on your DOF needs. Most important point, use a sturdy tripod. Use the 2 second timer delay while shooting. Yes, it will be a long exposure of few seconds.

But there is a tricky part, exposure. Depending on the situation, you should know whether to use matrix, center weighted or spot metering. And you should also know how much exposure compensation to use. That comes only by practice.

Just went through the thread in one shot and was amazed at hospitality of the owner/host and incredible 4x4 opportunity in the estate. And oh yes good photography too

I'm headed to CKM this weekend and was slightly perplexed about where to stay, but your posts just helped me make up my mind. Green Dale IT IS! And gotta ask Aravind to give the Getaway a spin and provide is opinion!
